Countering UAV Threats: Evolving Tactics and Technologies
The Future Land Forces Panel cordially invites military practitioners, industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and state representatives to join a critical dialogue on the future of land warfare.
Recent conflicts have shown that Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are no longer auxiliary assets – they are a fundamental component of the modern kill chain. From the front lines to the deep rear, drones have reshaped the battlefield and the security of critical infrastructure.
This panel creates a high-level platform for exchange: Industry gains direct insight into combat-proven requirements, while state and military representatives explore the cutting-edge of industrial C-UAS innovation.
PANEL STRUCTURE
Two focused sessions bridge tactical realities with technological innovation.
Session 1:
Counter-Drone Protection of Combat Units
Moving beyond theory to tactical survival.
This session goes beyond theory and showcases what truly helps save soldiers’ lives and protect combat units under constant drone pressure. We will discuss direct lessons learned from Ukraine, where UAVs, FPV drones, and loitering munitions shape every tactical decision.
Combat Units Under Drone Pressure:
- Lessons learned from Ukraine
- UAVs, FPV drones & loitering munitions in combat
- Effective protection of dismounted soldiers and combat units
- Practical counter-drone solutions from industry & research
Session 2:
Counter-Drone Protection of Critical Infrastructure
Securing the stationary and strategic environment.
This session focuses on the latest experience and solutions for protecting critical infrastructure and static assets, both civilian and military.
Protecting Critical Infrastructure:
- Lessons learned from Ukraine
- Latest experience in defending civilian & military assets
- Protection of stationary targets
- Technologies and strategies to counter UAV threats
WHY PARTICIPATE?
A high-impact synergy between the public and private sectors.
- Operational Insights: Gain first-hand insights from active conflict zones.
- Policy & Strategy: Explore state and military procurement and defence approaches.
